Wen Zhi visited Baixi Manor.
Once Gu Rang learned of her arrival, he personally went to receive her, ensuring that the mistakes of the past would not be repeated.
In an elegant tearoom, Wen Zhi knelt on the tatami, across from Gu Rang who was pouring tea for her.
"You came to find me in such a hurry, is there something you need?" Gu Rang was well aware that Wen Zhi would only seek him out if she had an issue.
Wen Zhi removed her mask and hat, getting straight to the point with Gu Rang: "I want to ask for your help."
Gu Rang slid the freshly poured tea in front of Wen Zhi and asked, not what help she needed, but: "Haven't I already lost your trust in my presence?"
"Yes."
Wen Zhi admitted he had indeed lost her trust.
But the key issue was that she couldn't find anyone both capable and willing to help her; only Gu Rang was suitable.
After hearing Wen Zhi's words, Gu Rang chuckled, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked her, "Am I your choice out of desperation?"
